Project description:SETMAR/Metnase is a naturally occurring fusion protein that consists of a histone-lysine methyltransferase domain and an HsMar1 transposase. To elucidate the biological role of SETMAR, it is crucial to identify genomic targets to which SETMAR specifically binds and link these sites to the regulation of gene expression. Herein, we mapped the genomic landscape of SETMAR in a near-haploid human leukemia cell line (HAP1) in order to identify on-target and off-target binding sites at high resolution and to elucidate their role in terms of gene expression. Our analysis revealed a perfect correlation between SETMAR and inverted tandem repeats (ITRs) of HsMar1 transposon remnants, which are considered as natural target sites for SETMAR chromosome binding. However, we did not detect any untargeted events at non-ITR sequences, calling into question previously proposed off-target binding sites. We identified sequence fidelity of the ITR motif as a key factor for determining the binding affinity of SETMAR for chromosomes, as higher ITR fidelity resulted in increased affinity for chromatin and stronger repression of SETMAR-bound gene loci. These associations highlight how SETMAR’s chromatin binding fine-tune gene regulatory networks in human tumour cells.

Project description:Approximately 50 million years ago, the Hsmar1 transposon entered the primate lineage giving rise to a new protein, a chimeric fusion of a SET domain and the Hsmar1 transposase. This protein, SETMAR or Metnase, is broadly expressed in human tissues and has been shown to retain its ancestral sequence-specific binding to Hsmar1 terminal inverted repeat (TIR) sequences found at the ends of the transposons. Despite the fact that there were estimated to be anywhere from 1500-7000 TIR sites within the human genome, the relevance of SETMAR-TIR interactions was unknown. Here, we report the crystal structure of the SETMAR DNA-binding domain (DBD) complexed with TIR DNA at 2.37 Å. The DBD structure includes two helix-turn-helix motifs (HTH1 and HTH2), which dimerize through HTH1, and confer sequence-specific recognition of the TIR through nucleobase-specific interactions with R371 in HTH1 and R417, H427, S428, and R432 in HTH2. The extent of genome-wide binding was determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis yielding a total of 7457 SETMAR bound sites. The effect of SETMAR on the transcriptome was assessed by RNA-seq analysis; among the 177 differentially regulated transcripts, a cluster of histones on chromosome 6 were found to be repressed. The dimeric SETMAR structure with each DBD bound to TIR DNA, the presence of eleven TIR sites within the histone gene cluster, and previously reported DNA looping activity are consistent with a direct regulatory mechanism in which SETMAR represses mRNA expression for specific genes through chromatin looping.

Project description:NONO-mediated alternative splicing of SETMAR inhibits lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer
| PRJNA613734 | ENA
Project description:Bladder cancer patients with lymph node (LN) metastasis have an extremely poor prognosis and no effective treatment. The alternative splicing of precursor (pre-)mRNA participates in the progression of various tumors. However, the precise mechanisms of splicing factors and cancer-related variants in LN metastasis of bladder cancer remain largely unknown. The present study identified a splicing factor, non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NONO), that was significantly downregulated in bladder cancer tissues and correlated with LN metastasis status, tumor stage, and prognosis. Functionally, NONO markedly inhibited bladder cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and LN metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, NONO regulated the exon skipping of SETMAR by binding to its motif, mainly through the RRM2 domain. NONO directly interacted with splicing factor proline/glutamine rich (SFPQ) to regulate the splicing of SETMAR, and it induced metastasis suppression of bladder cancer cells. SETMAR-L overexpression significantly reversed the metastasis of NONO-knockdown bladder cancer cells, both in vitro and in vivo. The further analysis revealed that NONO-mediated SETMAR-L can induce H3K27me3 at the promotor of metastatic oncogenes and inhibit their transcription, ultimately resulting in metastasis suppression. Therefore, the present findings uncover the molecular mechanism of lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer, which may provide novel clinical markers and therapeutic strategies for LN-metastatic bladder cancer.

Project description:Transposons impart dynamism to the genomes they inhabit and their movements frequently rewire the control of nearby genes. Occasionally, their proteins are domesticated when they evolve a new function. SETMAR is a protein methylase with a sequence-specific DNA binding domain. It began to evolve about 50 million years ago when an Hsmar1 transposon integrated downstream of a SET-domain methylase gene. Here we show that the DNA-binding domain of the transposase targets the enzyme to transposon-end remnants and that this is capable of regulating gene expression, dependent on the methylase activity. When SETMAR was modestly overexpressed in human cells, almost 1500 genes changed expression by more than 2-fold (65% up- and 35% down-regulated). These genes were enriched for the KEGG Pathways in Cancer and include several transcription factors important for development and differentiation. Expression of a similar level of a methylase-deficient SETMAR changed the expression of many fewer genes, 77% of which were down-regulated with no significant enrichment of KEGG Pathways. Our data is consistent with a model in which SETMAR is part of an anthropoid primate-specific regulatory network centered on the subset of genes containing a transposon end.
